“Sometimes, I have to make a point of saying to myself: 'You know what Stace, if you don't have a bath one day this week, it's not going to do you any favours. If you don't turn your phone off for the day today and say 'no,' you're going to be impacted negatively.'”

“I'm one of seven, so I do want a big family.”

“I'm not perfect, I'm not brilliant at everything, I just try my best and I enjoy crafting. If I have something old or broken and I can use it for something else, I get a real joy out of it.”

“I was so awkward and gangly, and went through puberty way too young - I got really self-conscious about it.”

“You can't please all the people all of the time, and I don't expect them to like everything I wear or do.”

“The girls at 'Loose Women' are my actual friends. They're not just telly friends.”

“I've felt like my whole life, I've had to prove I'm not an idiot.”

“I had no traumatic childhood experiences.”

“Thank God for my family - I'm so lucky and I don't know who I would be without them.”

“My grandfather is from Burma and while the tanned skin and Cleopatra eyes skipped my genetic make-up, I inherited the full hairy gene.”

“I can't even talk to anybody while I'm doing something.”

“From as far back as I can remember, I was scared and anxious.”

“I don't have time to sit down and airbush my lumps and bumps. I don't want to either, because they're all a part of my life and what I've been through and who I am.”

“My biggest fear is not being around for my children.”

“I love something new and I'm always willing to step into the unknown when it comes to hair.”

“I feel we just assume all fathers who no longer have involvement in their children's lives is through choice. I know, first hand, this is absolutely not the case.”

“I feel my most relaxed when I apply myself to a task.”

“I love my children more than anything in the world.”

“My parents are pretty strict 'education first - fun later' kind of parents.”

“I never want a child-free house.”
